interviews with some of the greatest minds on the planet regarding unusual phenomena, conspiracies and political scandals.

Amendment II A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall
not be infringed.

That doesn't mean 'right to regulate' to say what they can look like that has nothing to do with the way a weapon functions.

Too how many rounds it can fire, or have to wait 6 months or longer to 'buy' an accessory that is more or less a 'muffler'.

To how many rounds it can fire at the pull of a trigger or how many rounds a 'clip' can hold.

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Guns are peoples effects, but since the 1934 'gun control act' and the following 'laws' of the past 70 years,

No gun owner feels secure in their possessions.

Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand
Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any
person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,
without just compensation.

Never had my day in court.

Neither has any other gun owner. but we sure are being made held accountable for actions we have never done.

Which is why we have to ask for governments permission to buy them, and if we have lived a 'perfect little' life then we might get to buy one.

Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State
and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the
nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor,
and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Again not a single gun owner has ever had their day in court.

The only court any gun owner has ever received was in the kangaroo courts of public opinion.

That gets translated in to US law.

Amendment VII In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be
preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common
law.

Guns today cost a hell of a lot more than 20 bucks,

So does the taxes, and license's to 'own' them.

Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the
people.

Those constitutional amendments are crystal clear, and no power the government has can be used to construe or DENY or DISPARAGE the rights of owning
firearms in this country.

Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.

Which means the people, and since the majority have never committed any crimes what so ever doesn't seem to matter to some people.

So i guess the mark of true intelligence about people seeing the other side of the 'argument' is true.

Since not a single gun control advocate will ever utter the words that gun control laws VIOLATE Americans civil liberties.

A big to do was made out of someone saying gun control laws are anti American.

Yeah well they are.

They are anti American because they are FASCIST.

They are a bold declaration that the state is the master of the people instead of it's servant.

For the record all rights we Americans have come from the CREATOR,

Not government.

And any intelligent person would not support superfluous laws since we already have laws that 'forbid' the harming or murder of another
person.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable
Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine

Don't worry about the future
Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that scares you

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours

Floss

Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements

Stretch

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees
You'll miss them when they're gone

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future

Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft

Travel

Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders

Respect your elders

Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
But you never know when either one might run out

Don't mess too much with your hair
Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85

Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it's worth
